The Lucky Eagle & The Red Wind

[rogue1]

Hi-
Anyone played at the Lucky Eagle in Rochester Washington or the Red Wind in Olympia Washington?

I have not played either of them. I have played the Tulalip.

I've played at Lucky Eagle. Their single deck is decent, min bet is $15. Lots of CSM's on their other tables (don't touch em). I've looked up the rules for Red Wind and they don't look so hot. Chips in La Center has a decent game for $10 min.

I believe the SD game at lucky eagle is 6:5. Red Wind typically has poor penetration, so be picky when choosing a game. You can enter the 2D midway. There are also 2 free 5$ matchplays with their VIP club. Overall though, not worth your time. Check out some of the smaller joints.

Alot of people say the Lucky Eagle Casino in Rochester Washington is a dive-they are right.

I was there on Sunday 02/04/2007, and their single deck was 3:2, not 6:5.

They did have a $5 min, 6 deck game with a CSM, but most of the tables were manually shuffled. Except for a 2 deck game where they used an ASM.

The single and double decks are no double after split, double on 10 and Ace only. The single deck was the only table without Lucky Ladies sidebet.

The 6 deck games are double after split, double on any first 2 cards.

All the games are hit soft 17, up to 4 split hands, no Ace re-split, late surrender allowed, dealer checks for blackjack under 10 or Ace using a scanning device.

6 deck tables: $5-$500, penetration 1 3/4 decks out.
2 deck tables: $10-$250, penetration 3/4 decks out
1 deck table: $15-$250?, penetration controlled by player's cut.

Thanks for the update Claza!

Some dealers give better pen.
Dealer Dave and Dealer Boon: Way way rude and ignorant. Would have to work their way up to ill mannered.
I personally know a number of people(myself included) who now only go to the Red Wind or Hawks Prairie due to their rudeness.

I went to the Lucky Eagle two or three times, but never again. The dealers at the Red Wind are very friendly and the casino seems much nicer I think.
